There was a website that estimates IQs (emphasis on estimate) based on writing. It estimates that news reporters averaged 100-120, Stephen Hawking's last work was in the 150s, Alexander Hamilton had works in the 160s, and Qanon conspiraters on Facebook averaged 75-89. Obviously they're estimates, but it seems rather accurate within margin.

Edit: found it!! so you guys can try it yourselves!

I entered sections from my papers I wrote during my master's and I guess I range from 128-151 as my lowest and highest during that time. Great ego boost for the day lol.

Right wing doesn't mean prejudice. But I do wonder if this is in the half-third of sociology studies that can't be reproduced.

The right doesn't hold a monopoly on stupid racism.

EDIT: An example for downvoters with no world history.

I think you're comparing apples and oranges. Every white supremacist votes on the right.

Every tankie votes on the left, are all leftists tankies? And, every other person disagrees on what right and left mean in the first place.
